BACKTALK: Tuesday, Feb. 19

There was a column years ago, and I think it was just a Sunday only column, that was I believe it was called Ask Adrian. I was wondering if you’d consider bringing that back. I think it was like questions and answers. I just know that it was helpful to people. I know someone that benefitted from the column and I used to look forward to getting the Sunday paper, which I don’t get any more. Actually if I knew that was coming back, it would be one of the reasons that I would start getting the paper again. I thank you for your time.

Missing Adrienne

That’s like three decades ago. Should we bring back Ernie Kovacs while we’re at it?

Pension question

Hi Ed Note, I’m just calling to find out what’s the deal with these people who work for government and are prosecuted for certain misdeeds that they do. Are they still entitled to their pension and their retirement plans if they’re arrested and put in jail? I’ve been concerned about this for a long time. It seems that these guys get away with stealing our money and cheating us on our taxes. And then we find out that while they’re in jail they’re still receiving their retirement plans, etc., etc. Good question for you to find an answer for. Thanks a lot. Have a great day.

Yeah, they pretty much still get what they put in. But let’s not get all twisted about it, as no legislator would ever put such a law out there to be voted on. What happens if they get convicted?

Adrienne, ad nauseum

I would like to see the column “Ask Adrienne” which was featured in the Sunday edition in the 1980’s be put back in again.

Psychy Psych

Oh good gracious. Enough with the Adrienne. Psychics are full of horse manure. Agreed?

More Adrienne

Hello, My name is Debbie. My sister, who’s also my neighbor, informed me that the Adrienne family column may be coming back to the Trentonian and I told her, I said, it’s about time. I used to love it, used to love it. If it is, make it quick. I’ve missed that column. I used to read it all the time back in the 80s, and so did she. We were big fans of the column. Can’t wait to see it back to print. Thank you.

Debbie

This is a joke, right? ADRIENNE IS NOT COMING BACK. DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE IS. SORRY FOR HOLLERING.
